Bash Version: 4.0 Patch Level: 35 Release Status: release Description: When using the bash shell in an xterm or rxvt terminals at least, commands executed which start with a space, eg " ls" are not added to the command line history and so are not accessible by ctrl-p. Repeat-By: Type any command prefixed by one or more spaces. Press return. Press Ctrl-p or type "history | tail". Observe that last command starting with space is not in present in the command history. Thanks, Paul Stansell
